@@JoWithTheFro1 Your grandma is adorable and you sound cute when speaking haitian creole.One correction from the video;Basque isn't a country but a region in both spain and France.However the people on both sides are of the same ethnicity and speak the same language.There is a basque independence movement in spain though.Also it's DOPE that your grandma has native blood in her coming from the taino people.
Genealogist here. A good way to think of the percentages is to think back to eight times great grandparents. You have 1024 of those grandparents. For each percentage you have on your DNA test roughly one of those 8 times great grandparent is 100% of that group. So 45% Cameroon means that 45 of your eight times great grandparents are from that area. Your grandmother is precious. I am so glad you got her DNA test because the higher up in your tree you can get DNA the better results and also matches. Good luck on your DNA journey
A friend of mine who's parents are originally from Haiti took one of these tests. He was surprised by a really high Polish result. Turns out his parents had never mentioned that they both had ancestors who were Polish soldiers who were recognized as officially black by the Haitian government! History is wild.
Yes that's true. A very small percent of Haitians were classified as Haitians creole people. They fled Saint Domingue now Haiti typically with their Europeans owner as property during the Revolution and most ended up in Louisiana. For example my Haitian creole family ended up in Grand Coteau, Louisiana.
Yes Alot of people from Louisiana have dna linked to Haiti because some French people took their slaves to Louisiana the colony of France after Haiti got their independence.
I thought so too at one time. But mean young people turn into mean old people. Young pimps turn into Old pimps. Young drug dealers turn into Old drug dealers.
my heart is pounding right now, your grandma is my 3rd cousin, I just saw my younger's sister name as her 3rd cousin in your video and my heart dropped. We are related from my mother's side
Although my DNA is overwhelmingly European and Native American your beautiful grandmother reminds me so much of mine... it's amazing the way some people of different ethnicity can sometimes look similar. Please cherish her and give her a big hug from those of us who no longer have our beloved grandparents anymore.
Your grandma is adorable and her DNA make up is interesting, especially with that 1% Filipino. My guess is that Filipino ancestor of hers might have been a Filipino who worked in one of the Spanish galleons, as the route involved the Philippines, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Spain. Greetings from Manila, Philippines, by the way!
It could also be Spanish dna in Philippines that the dna company has mistakenly put in their system as Filipino. Because they’re still getting more and more accurate by the week as they get more and more samples. If you keep going back and checking your results on their websites you’ll see it get updated. My percentages have changed wildly since I first took the test in 2015.
@@HueyPPLong nah it would have popped up as Spanish. Spanish DNA is rare in most Filipinos and when they have a mix of it it’s typically very low. Filipinos believe they have Spanish in them because their unique features to most other Asians but it’s not the case at all. My girlfriend believed she had Spanish ancestry like I deadass though she was just an indigenous looking Latina when I first saw her and the last name being Spanish threw me off as well but she’s all Asian 97% Filipino and 2% Thai and 1% Chinese. Iv looked up other Filipino dna test and it’s not as common as you might think. I haven’t seen a Filipino test with over 15% spain. Most Iv seen was like 10 and it was the only one Iv seen. Filipino were in the Caribbean because the Spanish made them be part of the voyage.
The venezuela bit is most likely cause your grandmother (and you too) have Taíno roots. Taínos were the indigenous peoples of the caribbean islands Haiti/DR, Puerto Rico etc. They migrated out of what is now Venezuela, from the amazon jungle and ended up in the caribbean. :)
There's native Tainos on the Hispaniola island and that's where she most likely got her native side. Venezuela has its own indigenous tribes and it also has a history with slavery, so the Venezuelan side could very well be African or European.
Thank you for saying that, for some reason majority of black people seem to think that they are from Africa when the majority of Tim or indigenous that were enslaved as well and had children with one another, DNA can I tell you what region you're from it just tells you what races that you are mixed with, all these ancestry test.com BS it's all Bs
I’m Random , agreement! However all those Nations is made of of Africans n European descendant also Chinese too!! Its A big melting Pot if different races. However Venezuela have many different Tribes of Indigenous peoples besides Tajino Indian! I have travelled to many parts of that country n its Amazing with their different Tribes n culture of people including Italian Greek n others in that land. Amen lok
Taino are actually a First Nations Tribe like other Native Americans and Canadians. Native People lived from Alaska and the Territories to the bottom of Chile in South America. Funny Columbus didn't set foot in America before he used the term "Indian" (though its wrong now) to refer to the original inhabitants. Columbus met the Taino first. (Taíno Indians, a subgroup of the Arawakan Indians (a group of American Indians in northeastern South America), inhabited the Greater Antilles (comprising Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola [Haiti and the Dominican Republic], and Puerto Rico) in the Caribbean Sea at the time when Christopher Columbus' arrived to the New World. Wikepedia)
I can only hope that my grandchildren are as loving and kind as you are to yours. I’m 72 and did a DNA test. Not too many surprises, but there was a few. I’d give anything to have my grandparents DNA; what a treasure! Thanks for sharing 🤗!
I’ve never met anyone from Senegal in person, now I want to see if there’s a resemblance because everyone in the comments is saying I look Senegalese lol.
Growing up Mexican American, I had no idea what made up my DNA til I checked. Wow! 51% Indian (indigenous to Guanajuato Mexico), 19 % Greco/Roman, 8% Senegal, 5% Russian/Finish. By the way, your Grandma is soo cute!
The reason for the connections with Dominican families is the African blood that connects Haiti to the DR. The same tribes were brought to both the Haitian and Spanish sides of the island. The connective tissue is Africa. Also light skin and fine hair is found in many West African people. The Fulani of Nigeria and different people all over West Africa have these traits. My friend is from Ghana and she looks Ethiopian with curly straight hair and lighter skin. She did her DNA and she was 100% African.
It used to be just one big island. That's the real reason. Dominicans are going to have the same dna from the congo as well, since pretty much the large majority of Dominican Republic are Afro-latino.
Wow, this little grandmother is so beautiful now that one can only imagine how gorgeous she was when young! So good to see how treasured she is by her family.♥️
You may care to know that recently I had an interesting conversation with someone who was Filipino. According to this person who was a native of the country, she told me that the Filipino people were among the first documented slaves in America because they were brought in by Spanish conquerors. They were brought in to work the sugar cane fields of Louisiana. I never went back to verify this, but it made a great conversation piece.
As a Haitian myself, I was curious to see your grandma's results. I watched all the way through and it was quite informative. No matter the DNA profile, I hope you intend at some point to pass on the beautiful, rich, melanated features you've inherited with someone who looks like and is as beautiful as you. Thank you Sis. Mwah!
You look like your grandmother. You are blessed to have her. The last time i was with my grandmother was when i was a toddler i haven't seen her since. God bless her heart.
Germanic Europe as a category includes Austria, Czechia, Dutch, the Netherlands demographically overlaps a lot with Germany, France, Belgium, Denmark & Eastern Britain and Germany with Northern Italy, Switzerland, Eastern France, Slovakia, Hungary etc...
@@iamfunnyipromise9605 You are making assumptions. I just watched another dna reveal that had a great grandmother married to a black man. No one knew about it.
Interesting you've got o% Senegalese, because you look like a typical Senegalese especially Wolof. I'm from the Senegambia region and I'm Seereer through and through on both sides.
How lovely that you got to do this with your grandma. She looks like a darling. How cool about the Basque Country - it's so rare! Germanic Europe is actually the name of an historic area and the people came from what is now Germany, Austria, The Netherlands, and Switzerland. Thanks for your lovely vid! 💞
That is awesome and blessing you were able to get her tested. As soon as I got a job I bought my grandma her ancestry test and she took it at age 91. And at age 95 I got her to test on 23andme. My grandma came out 80% Native indigenous American.
All these videos really prove that color is just skin deep. What we call black and white is just our visual perception. I watched tons of these, and there were "white" people that came from Asia to like 30 % and amazingly a quite light skinned straight hair person that was mostly African, and a quite dark one with curly hair that was 70 % European. So what we think is someone's "race" might just be a small part. I like that we can know what we come from, it is interesting, but I hope people learn that you can just look at someone and assume. I understand that there can be a lot of identity in a "color", but in reality I wonder why. I barely identify as human... but also some of those tests tell you how much of you that isn't, lol my friend was mad he was just 2,5 % neanderthal. ;)
deadpoetoftheyear Actually so called “white” and “black” are just socio-political terms which came into existence at the moment of imperial conquest, as stated by Fanon, an Afro-Caribbean psychiatrist. Neither exists without the other. If we want to get to the root, these terms are statuses. The term Black was imposed on enslaved Africans of diverse ethnic backgrounds and reduced to property...There were no black or white people over 500 years ago. No one was walking the earth referring to themselves as a colour.
The Basque people are an isolated human group living in what today is north Spanish and a tiny bit of south France. They don't match close relationships in neither DNA ancestry nor in linguistics to any other known group in the world. They may have been there for thousands of years.
As a Jamaican 10:27 may be a reason why I found some Hatian cousins myself. The Native American that showed up in both your grandma and you could be the Tainos who inhabited the Caribbean before the Europeans came. It showed up in some of my cousins matches and it was a great source of amazement for them. The Basque people are actually related to the Armenians linguistically and genetically in that about 1000 of their words are similar as this link shows ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fKXnz9YMa9A.html. And the Phillipines was once controlled by Spain which could explain why some of the genepool ended up in Hispaniola which consists of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Greetings to you queen. You are very beautiful.
Basque is known in spanish as País Vasco, which translates into Basque country, but it's not a country on its own. It's part of northern Spain and it borders with France. Thanks for sharing this video! It was really cool! :)
Basque, or Euskadi, is part of Spain, although, a small minority live in France. Ethnically, they are somewhat different than the Spaniards. Their language is one of the oldest in Europe and predates the Romance languages of Spain.
Basque have the largest amount of Rh- blood , always fighting , they are sheep herders generally , especially outside of Spain , and the Basque region is the mountainous area/region between Spain and France . They're different from all the other people of earth because of their blood , its a mystery . Your grandma is a pretty lady , and you're a pretty young woman . Basque Sheep Herders went to AU , western US , other countries , many desolate places to tend sheep . I love your smile .
Filipino Sailors were the first Asians to travel to the Americas. The first recorded presence was in California in 1587. They also had large settlements in the South, the first place being Louisiana. So that's why you might see Filipino. :)
Oh my NYAMBE! Your grand mother, that Queen is so beautiful and precious. 🥰💓Sending much love to her and your family. A Cameroonian sister and daughter❤👸🏾
Yes exactly.Nelson Mandela is part San and that's why he looks a little Asian. You also have people native people in North Africa who looks white. Africa has everything.
some of my ancestors may have mixed in with yours when the Pilgrims rounded up a couple of tribes of peaceful Native folks that they had converted to Christianity and sold them to slavers who brought them down to the Carib Islands. Interestingly my family from my Indian side never had any use for Christianity. Between the Pilgrims (the grandkids of the elders at the first Thanksgiving) and then the Catholics who took their kids to bordering schools when the Native folks went north, they had good reasons for their disdain. We knew this stuff though before testing since my gram kept the oral family history. She also shared some juicy gossip about the Scottish ancestors (her dad was Blackhawk Dunphy, Stubborn Scot Indian is what she said, we just called him grampy Blackie) and when I did an Internet search on what she told me back in the 1960's she was completely right! Your grandmother is lovely. Our elders are treasures.
Awesome results I'm Latino and most of my African is from Benin which is 3% and I'm 2% basque, my grandma's last name is basque, and I'm also 26% native American :) such awesome results I grew up around Haitians I love watching Haitian results its so cool how we have some dna in common 🙏🏼
The Philippines DNA can come from two places. 1. Manilamen who travelled with the Spanish flag to Louisiana and elsewhere and would jump ship 2. Malagasy enslaved roots.
Thanks for that bit of info! My people come from Jamaica and when I recently did my ancestryDNA test, I saw the Phillipines listed and I was scratching my head, lol.
By the way Haitians and brazilians are Latinos just not Hispanics In the video you were talking of Latinos descent as if it were a race . Latino and hispanic is not a race babe
Juana Castillo you need history classes ! Are Afro colombians not latino or Hispanic just because they are black? Like I said latino/Hispanic is not a race . You can be Afro descendants and still be 100% Latino or Hispanic
I always love seeing how Ancestry shows the immigration of the DNA. I started building my tree from potential ancestors while waiting for my results and when it completed, it showed that my DNA is from Pennsylvania and Midwest settlers from Europe which matched the potentials I had found prior. Showing it to my only surviving grandparent(maternal grandma) she thought it was really cool. Her my mom's branches haven't really left PA since they settled there in the early Colonial days, even having ties to the Mayflower and Plymouth plantations. My fathers side is where the Midwest settlers come in. I just bought my grandma a test to see what hers comes up with. Especially because I've hit a brick wall at my 5th maternal great grandparents. Every other branch I've been able to go back as far as the 1300s and farther but that branch I can't get farther than early 1800s Transylvania. Happy Ancestry hunting^-^
You're very lucky to be able to do something like this with a grandparent. I hardly ever knew mine from both sides of the family (only my father's mother, but the memory is very vague since she passed while I was still a toddler.) I'd love to know things such as direct ancestry DNA along with their stories of growing up. Good job in some sense of documenting this since it shows more of an interpersonal depth regarding your ancestral history.
I say it all the time. We are all related. Humans been on planet earth for millenia. How can we not be related?? Racism, discrimination, hatred is pointless. Hating others is hating yourself.
@@snd05d I love ancestry dna for this! LOL connecting family together. I was comparing your dna to hers because you can do that on the website and it's crazy how different your dna is from her's even though you're still related! There are 3 other cousins you guys share as well!
@@JoWithTheFro1 it's crazy. I haven't looked at my ancestry account in about a year+ but I feel like more people have done it recently. I'm going to look again soon and see what new family members show up. 😂 Especially the person in your video that has the same last name as me 🤔. God Bless💛
You looked Sahelian to me, including Senegalese. Some of the people in Cameroon share similar DNA due to inter looping DNA. Also the Filipino and the Bantu, could be malaygasy, they’re a mixture between Bantu austronesian(filipino/malay people). And one of the earlier slave ships to come to the America’s was from madagascar.
Great info. I’m also Haitian and always wanted to find out my bloodline also. But I’m thinking of going with the AfricanAncestry kit which they can tell you which tribe we’re from in Africa etc. maybe in the future you could do it and compare the results with the AncestryDNA.
jeand4186 African Ancestry only offers mtDNA results, the unbroken maternal line, which accounts for less than 5% of a person’s total genome. AncestryDNA only offers autosomal testing, which provides estimates of a person’s ancestral make-up from both parents. These tests are NOT comparable.
@DJ Good morning! I know this thread is old but I’m trying to determine if there are any Haitian roots in my ancestry. I did African Ancestry by the way but it just breaks down the African origins and location. So right now I am trying to find a possible connection with that but my grandparents are now all deceased so it’s hard to get info about lineage. My results were Yoruba people from Nigeria and Guinea Bissau. Was just wondering if you ended up doing the AA kit? Thank you for your time!
@@001islandprincess No, African Ancestry offers tests for the maternal AND paternal lines - but true, it can't be compared to the autosomal tests which encompasses everything put together. I did all 3 but it's still difficult to figure what came from where with autosomal tests
Greetings. Basque is pronounced like “asked”. Also don’t take those estimates too seriously or literally. They are just that...estimates. Pay close attention to genetic cousin matches especially 4th cousins and closer. That is where you’ll learn about your ancestry by learning about the ancestry of your close cousin matches.
Basque is pronounced exactly as she eventually did. Not with the flat english A, with the Ba sound of barn in English. Jo it might be better to research these topics prior to filming. There is much to know about the Basque people and the unique culture, language and fight for autonomy. They deserve it as do all people. Your grandma is so sweet looking bless her and your family.
I have a 4th cousin match who mom was born in Haiti and her dad in Colombia. We share 3rd great grands some where from what results say. Problem is my folks were in the Carolinas and hers Haiti. We do have other Haitian matches with surname Jean and Petit
Aww your granny is so cute 😍 spending time with her and doing her hair like that is precious time you will never get back ❤️ I miss my grandma so much ❤️
My results and your Grandmother's is almost identical. I am African American, results showed my people were taken to North Carolina Coastal Areas. Swap German with England/Wales, swap Portugal with Norway, and 1% Native American/Ireland-Scotland as well. It is sooo crazy.
I'm from coastal North Carolina and I really need to get my DNA done. My cousin from there had hers done and she was mainly Cameroon as far as African countries
Wish this testing had been available a lot sooner. The oldest living member of our family has not yet agreed to test. But we're still trying. Thanks for sharing your beautiful grandmother with us.
You know it seems like a few of countries with the low percentage are similar to people whose ancestors are from the area on the route from Spain/ Portugal - Canary Islands- Haiti/DR - Venezuela - Cuba in early 1600-1700
Your grandmothers father is a lightskin haitian the reason for the hispanic relatives is camaroon congo,benin, and ghana african carribean migrations. Im haitian and alot of my relatives had spanish last names another reason why i think she is not part hispanic is because she did not have alot of Spanish blood. The African carribean migrations are the reason why you guys have alot of hispanic people compare their dna and you will see camaroon,benin, and ghana.
My opinion is that you should ask your parents to do a DNA test to. So you can do a comparison with your parents DNA results with your grandmother and your DNA results
